The video shows how a precision shot fired from the Archer wheeled self-propelled artillery system destroys a Russian Msta-S tracked self-propelled howitzer.
The destroyed Russian howitzer was quite well camouflaged, but aerial reconnaissance managed to successfully detect it and transmit data to the Ukrainian artillery brigade.
The Swedish-made Archer wheeled self-propelled artillery system was used to destroy the Russian howitzers.
According to Forbes, the Archer artillery system is considered one of the best in the world. This Swedish 155 mm self-propelled howitzer can fire at a range of 30-60 km, while Russian artillery is limited to 30 km. tag.
The Archer is unique among wheeled howitzers in that while it fires the same NATO-standard 155mm shells as the other guns, it fires farther. This range is partly due to the effective powder charges developed by the Swedish gun manufacturer Bofors.
Archers can also use projectiles, including Excalibur, which greatly extend their firing range.
Militarnyj notes that the high level of automation makes the Archer the best weapon of the Ukrainian Armed Forces for combating howitzers, as the system can be fully ready for use in just 20 seconds.
In addition, all preparatory processes for shooting and the shooting itself are fully automated and controlled by the operator from the cockpit.
The destruction of the Russian artillery system occurred in the Luhansk region.
